The joining of similar/dissimilar materials by using conventional and nonconventional techniques is a challenging task to produce cost-effective joints without overweighing the product. Traditionally, adhesive welding is the preferred technique used to join polymers at the cost of increase in product weight. The use of nonconventional techniques in welding polymers is limited due to an expensive source of energy. However, all of these techniques have limited applications for the joining of polymers. To overcome this limitation, constant efforts are given to develop a new technique to join the polymer through the Y-shape die channel. The Yshape die channel is the reliable method to join two similar natures of polymers without the use of additive materials, hence product overweight can be avoided. The joint employed through the preheated die channel at 150°C and developed back pressure cause proper blending between the polymers. The reason for the development of back pressure is the nature of joint interface with exploring the scope of metal forming operation such as extrusion and equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) into a new joining procedure. Channel design, joining procedures, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and x-ray diffraction (XRD) of the joints were used to assess the weldability of polymers.

“…Robust optical bonding is essential for advanced optical systems. Most optical adhesive materials that are in use today are based on organic constituents such as epoxy, UV-cured acrylic and silicone polymers, and suffer therefore from poor thermal and irradiation stability and limited transparency [1]- [4]. On the other hand, physical bonding methods such as optical contact bonding or diffusion bonding are stronger and more durable but require higher working temperatures, high-level surface flatness and cleanliness which make them impractical for many applications [5]- [9].…”

We investigate here the properties of fast sol-gel for optical bonding. The precursors of the fast sol-gel material are organically modified alkoxides generating a transparent hybrid (organic-inorganic) substance with silica glass-like properties whose index of refraction can be modified by the addition of various metal-oxides. The fast sol-gel method consists of rapid fabrication of a viscous resin and its subsequent dilution for long shelf life use. This material, when used as an adhesive offers the option of either a thermal or UV curing procedure. We demonstrate a bonding strength of ∼ 10 MPa when a 15 µm layer is applied between two glass elements. The bonding remained stable after an extensive-40 • C-120 • C temperature cycling with minimal residual solvent evaporation at 150 • C. The fast sol-gel material was tested for optical bonding between silica bulks, between silica bulk and silicon wafers and as an adhesive in silica fibre couplers.
